Sant Antoni de Portmany
Sant Antoni de Portmany Church
The origins of this church are the oldest on the island and go back to the 14th century. It was built on a small hill, near the port, and it underwent different changes especially throughout the 17th century.
It is a church-fortress, with thick walls, a defensive tower, a flat rooftop terrace and an atrium inside. This church was equipped with weapons until 1869, like that of Sant Jordi. It is made of a single reinforced semi-circle vault nave with 5 arches.
The parish festival is held on January 17th, the feast of Saint Anthony the Great.
